the olive drab saya

Olive green linen with black linen bands. This was by far the best of my early attempts - everything fit properly (except for the damn sleeves being too tight), and the square neckline and trim more closely resembles images from 15th c. Castile. It was my favorite dress, and I wore it until it was so old it couldn’t be patched anymore. It was followed by the Olive Green Saya Mark 2.
